I'm a full-time teacher with three children. I want to find time to go to the gym, but how do I do that when there are so many professional and family responsibilities that I also need to handle? Kendal Brue, 37, West Harrison, IN

First, figure out how many times a week you want to exercise, then take a fresh and creative look at your schedule. If you want to work out three times a week, you really need to find or free up three full hours. Maybe you can wake up early one weekday morning to take a walk, have your husband watch the kids while you work out to a yoga DVD one evening, then squeeze in a family exercise session on the weekend. Remember: Working out doesn't have to take place at the gym a bike ride or long weekend walk with your family counts! Maybe you can find other coworkers who also want to exercise and set up a time during lunch or after work to work out together. The key is to look for those hidden pockets of free time in your schedule, then claim them for yourself by scheduling exercise just as if it were one of the professional or family commitments that you wouldn't break unless it were an emergency.
